So I wanted to throw POV and hope Andrew wins and evicts AJ but I don't want anyone in charge of my fate in this game other than myself. Andrew has burned so many people in bus game what makes me so special? I wanna make damn sure I'm in the final 3 so here goes nothing.

FUCIOFsjhiovrtudopfiveijpok

Dixie saved me with the Power of Veto. The only way to get her to do it was to promise I'd evict Andrew but ugh. I'm gonna evict AJ. :\ I know it's probably smarter for me to keep AJ over Andrew, but at the same time, what secret final 2 alliance can say they made it to the end together without being exposed till the very end? None? Well we're about to!

I have to consider that if I do evict Andrew, then AJ and Dixie could just take each other for a close raced finale, because I think I'd beat either of them. They'd be dumb to take me. ~_~ Lordy. I need Andrew here to guarantee my spot in the final 2. Dixie would have to take me if she wants any hope in winning, and I think Andrew would return the favor to me for evicting AJ over him. We are F2 anyway... I trust him. If Andrew or I win this game I will be happy. <3

I feel so bad for AJ and Dixie though. The jig is gonna be up soon but my #1 thing right now is loyalty. Blaaaahhhh

[Estelle Landy]

Hey guys. :3

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on the final 4 you guys. This final 4 is too hot to trot, and I love you guys.

Second, let me thank Dixie for saving me with the Power of Veto, I'm very honored and grateful that you have decided to do so. I didn't really want to have to choose between my boys, but I'm very appreciative that you would give me this final 3 spot.

Third, I know I'm about to hurt one of the guys I've worked very closely to throughout this game and it sucks, but it's just a game and what's gotta be done has gotta be done.

I have to take into account everything that has been said this entire game in order to come to a decision on who to evict, and part of that is Jury perception and my chances at making it to the final 2. I believe you both would have kept me if either of you had won the Power of Veto which makes this decision even harder since I obviously can't keep both of you, but I have to do what's best for me in my pursuit of making it to the end, and winning.

With that being said, I can now take the mask off.
AJ, I'm sorry but I choose to evict you.

While I do feel like Andrew is the biggest threat in the end, I feel like it'd be too tempting for AJ and Dixie not to take each other. Also, Andrew and I have had a secret final 2 alliance since just about the merge, so we need each other. :\ I'm sorry guys, but surprise?

SURPRISE! <3

[Estelle Landy]

Sooo I obviously handled this week pretty poorly but what was I supposed to do? :\ I didn't want to be the swing vote! I didn't even win Veto, and I could have done better (I doubt I would have won, but I could have tried harder) and I wanted Andrew to win and evict AJ, so I could be in the final three with no blood on my hands. What's a full game without blood on your hands though? I need to be able to say I did something to the Jury, even if it wasn't taking out Andrew, I did SOMETHING... even if it was evicting the season's nomination goat/pawn - AJ. People were saying he'd be able to win (Ryan) so I can quote that in my finale. I'm going to BRING IT in the finale.. assuming I even make it. Dixie has made it public knowledge she'll take Andrew if she wins the final HOH which is a huge possibility. I'm going to do endurance Thursday night since I don't have class Friday. Then I have all weekend to post, post, post. I won't stop until I pass the fuck out or miss a post, and believe me, I don't plan on it.

Then hopefully Andrew wins part 2, and I win part 3 and evict Dixie. I will have no problems doing it at this point. Dixie did message me privately saying she'd still take me to the final 2 but that's after she cooled down and I don't believe her 110% but she has every right to be angry with me, since I did lie to her saying I'd evict Andrew. So I won't blame her if she takes Andrew whatsoever, it just sucks I'm in this position but I plan on winning the final HOH so I don't have to deal with it.

*fingers crossed*

[Estelle Landy]

LOL @ the AJ/Dixie fight

[Estelle Landy]

Oh sweet good thing I messed up LOL

[Estelle Landy]

Andrew HAS to win Part 2!!!! If he does, then Andrelle will BE THE FINAL 2!!! AHHHHH <3333

Love Dixie, but she has to go. At this point idk if she can win but I can see her garnering support against me or Andrew because I imagine the Jury must hate us lol.

[Estelle Landy]

Soooo Dixie won part 2, which isn't TOO surprising but I was REALLY hoping Andrew would pull through for me because then I wouldn't have the pressure of NEEDING to win the third part. I really feel like I'm gonna choke and I'm so nervous and I can't really stop shaking. Andrelle NOT making the final 2 would be a tragedy. I have to give Dixie props for making it this far but girl pls step aside. :3

[Estelle Landy]

HOLY FUCKING WHAT?

[Estelle Landy]

I feel bad for Dixie cuz I guilt tripped her hardcore into taking me but at the same time I really wanna win and it was the only way lol... I also feel super bad for Andrew. He played an AMAZING game and I can't believe he's gone. I really thought Andrelle was gonna be the final 2... :\\\

[Estelle Landy]

Hey Jurors!

First I want to thank everyone who contributed to this game, it was a blast and both Kat and Shir did a wonderful job at hosting for us, and all of the Housecalls that contributed did a mighty fine job as well. Second, Dixie - thank you for bringing me to the final 2 and giving me the opportunity to plead my case as to why I should win the game. Good luck to you as well! Let's do this!

At the beginning, I don't know if I could have imagined myself sitting here at the end. It's been a long and crazy journey and my game definitely improved over the rounds. With the Aussie side being immune for two weeks in a row, you'd think things got pretty boring for us, right? Not exactly! I used the Aussie down time as an opportunity to start socializing with the Canadian side. This is when I formed my early bonds with Andrew, AJ, Liza, and Talla. AJ and Andrew especially would tell me what was going on from the Canadian side of the house, while I kept quiet about the Aussie side, since not much was going on while we were all immune and relaxed about our safety.

Finally came the duo round, where I was paired with Liza. This kind of cemented me in the alliance with AJ and Andrew as well, which was great for me since they were the Co-Head of Households. Winning my first Power of Veto competition with Liza (though Liza found most of the pieces, I was able to put them together faster), we decided to leave Andrew and AJ's nominations the same, even though Liza wanted to change them. This ruffled her feathers with Andrew, since I don't think he ever trusted her the same again. Anyway, this round I wanted to keep Ryan safe since I knew if he stayed, then the target would be off my back, and he was actually my favorite person from the Aussie side. I felt like one of his few supporters, but when he stayed 6-2, I knew otherwise. Also in a 6-2 vote, I lost my gal pal Brigitte which was saddening since this was the only time in the game I voted in the minority.

From here, Liza won HOH and I was glad she didn't nominate Ryan at first since I tried to protect him, but once she tried to backdoor him I went to work on trying to save him. Losing Suzette wouldn't have been bad for me, considering I had just evicted her the week prior. I kept Ryan, and once again he had the majority to stay, which only lamented the fact that Ryan had groupies I was unaware of which did worry me, but I set it aside since I wanted him to stay anyway.

When Andrew wins HOH next, I tell him he is my closest ally (which is true) and I knew he and Ryan were not on the same page, so I wanted to get them on the same page. I planted seeds to both of them that everyone is trying to pit them against each other while they all sit pretty in the middle, and it worked. This is the round Andrew, Ryan, and I form a secret alliance that lasted quite some time. This is also the round Andrew decides to backstab AJ and Liza (a plan I wasn't very approving of, since I wanted others out instead.) Ryan wins the Veto and wanted Liza out, but I told him it'd only be able to be done with Andrew's approval since he's HOH (so THIS is really why we formed the 3some) and so it happened. I didn't want AJ or Liza out really, but I felt I had more sway and input with AJ since I didn't feel I could manipulate Liza at all, so I preferred her leaving over AJ, and it happened.

Dixie winning HOH was a wildcard, but she nominated exactly who Andrew did. I wanted Rory out since he was one of the only people I hadn't had an alliance with at this point, and I knew he was close to Talla so I brought this to Dixie's attention in an attempt to get Talla nominated against Rory to ensure one left, but in the end after I won POV, I left AJ up because I was able to get the votes to send Rory out regardless.

When Talla won HOH I was nervous since I had just thrown her under the bus the week prior, but she told me she wanted to go to the final 4 with myself, AJ, and Andrew so I felt safe. She targeted Ryan, but Andrew and I decided to throw the POV because we wanted Ryan to survive (we were aligned with him) and we wanted the Talla vs. Ryan feud to continue. Talla "couldn't" nominate Dixie since she didn't nominate her so I found myself on the block which was okay since I then wouldn't have to make enemies and I felt confident I'd have the votes to stay. To my surprise, only Ryan evicted me. I set my sights on Ryan and Talla being the next two boots - which they were (one just nominated me, the other just evicted me.)

Andrew won HOH and wanted AJ out bad, but when I won POV I made a deal with Dixie to evict the replacement nominee, which wound up being Ryan. Andrew wasn't to happy but I had to do what I thought was best for me, not for Andrew (sorry Andrelle <3).

Finally I won HOH at final 5 and I knew the only person who would take Talla off was Andrew, so I had to put them up, but only after Dixie promised she'd evict Talla. Eventually, AJ did too, but not until after POV I think. When I won POV I didn't use it (even though I promised Andrew I would, AJ promising to evict Talla is what sealed my decision of not using it.) Talla left, just as I had planned, and my ideal final 4 came true. Andrew, AJ, and Dixie all wanted me in the final 2.. all I had to do was not win final 4 POV and I wouldn't have to piss anyone off!

At final 4, Dixie won HOH and POV (ownage!) and she was worried about AJ/Andrew evicting me so she told me she was saving me and made me promise to evict Andrew since he was the biggest threat. Andrew was my main alliance all game, and I couldn't evict him, but I promised I would. When I didn't, Dixie and AJ were understandably upset, but Andrew and I told each other everything all game, and I wasn't planning on evicting him. I felt the Jury hated him and I both so I thought I stood my best chances against him, especially when Ryan made AJ out to be a jury threat on his way out.

Anyway in the final 3 I won the endurance (or the "how-much-do-you-want-it?" competition), and Dixie narrowly beat out Andrew in part 2. Then in part 3 I choked in the last 2 questions and Dixie came back to win, where she was planning on evicting me, since I told her straight up I was probably taking Andrew. After an emotional breakdown of sorts, I was able to convince Dixie into taking me to the end, where she sent the beast Andrew out of the game.

Jury, I feel I played a very social, strategic, and strong game. I embodied every aspect I can think of when it comes to Big Brother. Yes, I lied. Yes, I manipulated. Yes, I did everything it took to make it to the end, but at the end of the day, it's a game of Big Brother and that's what it's all about. I felt I connected with many of you and it sucked evicting almost all of you, but I hope you can understand that it was all for the game. I wish you all the best of luck with your decisions, and I look forward to hearing what each of you has to say and answering any questions you may have for either of us. Thank you!

I used the Aussie down time as an opportunity to start socializing with the Canadian side. This is when I formed my early bonds with Andrew, AJ, Liza, and Talla. AJ and Andrew especially would tell me what was going on from the Canadian side of the house and this paved the way for the future AJ/Andrew/Estelle/Liza alliance around the merger AND the AJ/Andrew/Estelle/Talla alliance a little later in the game. The duo round is what really pushed me to working with the Canadians (AJ/Andrew has HOH and my partner being Liza).

My beginning game mainly consisted of me setting myself up for the future. For example at the beginning, I got in really well with both warring sides-- Andrew and Ryan. Later on in the game, I was able to bring the two warring sides to a peaceful standstill and we formed a 3some alliance.

At the beginning, I was always involved in the big moves because people felt they needed me to make them happen or I was just social enough to be around and involved. I was "in the know" about the Canadian situations before the duo round. I was involved with the potential backdoor of a rumored alliance during the duo round, which never happened (because Andrew and I didn't want the Veto to be used). Finally, I was involved in the Liza blindside. I will say though it was not my idea, nor did I think it was the best move for Andrew, but I did know what was going on, since Ryan pushed for it, and this was my "in" to making Andrew and Ryan work together.

Finally came the time when I wanted to make big moves in this game, which I feel I was able to do. No longer was I a "behind the scenes" player, but I became a forefront player in the eliminations of Rory, Krystal, Ryan, and Talla: all of which went how I planned. At the final 8 I wanted to break up the people I wasn't close to (Rory/Krystal/Talla) and to do that, I spread (what I believed to be true) rumors that Rory/Talla were close and I got everyone on board to split them up. The following week when Talla heard what I had done she almost put me up. Instead, I was able to form a foursome with her, Andrew, and AJ thanks to my social ties from the beginning of the game I had mentioned earlier. However I didn't want Ryan out just yet since I was aligned with him and NOT Krystal, so Andrew and I threw the POV to Ryan and I knew I'd likely go up, but I used this as my excuse to target Talla, since I felt confident I'd stay with Andrew and AJ's vote (and Talla's in the tiebreaker due to our alliance. Luckily, Dixie pulled through for me as well so it didn't come to that, and I didn't "owe" Talla for keeping me in the tiebreaker.)

When Andrew (my final 2 alliance member) won HOH I knew his nominations wouldn't match up with what I wanted. He wanted Ryan and Talla around, but I wanted AJ and Dixie since I felt they'd both take me to the end. When I won POV, I made a deal with Dixie to backdoor the replacement if I vetoed her, and so Ryan went up and out (Talla had nominated me the week prior and Ryan evicted me the week prior, which gave me more reason to evict them over AJ/Dixie, who not only kept me, but who would also take me to the end.)

At final 5 I knew I wanted Talla out, but by nominating Andrew next to her, it diluted any possible rumor that Andrew was my F2, even though he was. With this perception tarnished, I was able to get Talla out with AJ and Dixie's votes. Then at final 4 I unfortunately had to get my hands dirty by evicting AJ, and lying to Dixie saying I'd evict Andrew to pave the way for a final 3 of Andrew and I (who I felt the jury hated and I wanted to be in the end with). I won the endurance (or the "how-much-do-you-want-it?" competition), and Dixie narrowly beat out Andrew in part 2. Then in part 3 I choked in the last 2 questions and Dixie came back to win, where she was planning on evicting me, since I told her straight up I was probably taking Andrew. After an emotional breakdown of sorts, I was able to convince Dixie to take me to the end, where unfortunately for "Andrelle," she sent the beast Andrew out of the game.

Anyway in summation, I feel I played a very social, strategic, and strong game. I embodied every aspect I can think of when it comes to Big Brother. Yes, I lied. Yes, I manipulated. Yes, I did everything it took to make it to the end, but at the end of the day, it's a game of Big Brother and that's what it's all about.

In hindsight is was probably v stupid to compare AJ to Danielle even tho it's true lol
